The Jesuit New World Order

Monday, 23 April 2012

Some Religious Right leaders have joined forces with movers and shakers,
literally speaking, of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). They have
been warned about this "New Breed" of Christian and their global kingdom
agenda and have chosen to disregard the warnings. This article will put
to rest the notion that the NAR's esoteric doctrines fall within the
pale of orthodox Christianity. The hope of course is that the Religious
or Christian Right will wake up and smell the coffee and sever all ties
with these renegades.

What's astounding is that conservative Christian leaders, many of whom
are biblically literate, fail to recognize blatant false teaching. For
instance, some of them assume John Hagee, senior pastor of Cornerstone
Church in San Antonio, Texas, is an orthodox preacher when Hagee
promotes unbiblical word-faith teaching!

But this is not about John Hagee's promotion of the doctrine of positive
confession. This is about the unorthodox teaching and the sinister
plans of the NAR. The reason I'm sounding the alarm is that more and
more Christians are getting caught up in this cult.

False teachers have made their mark on the Church by marketing a
user-friendly "relevant" Christianity that is a whole lot more palatable
to the unchurched "seeker" than the Christianity of the Reformers.
Admittedly, even to the discerning believer truth laced with false
teaching is as tough to detect as a few drops of arsenic in a tall glass
of water.

Some apostates are so sly that the average Christian in the pew is
defenseless against them. But, thankfully, not everyone is taken in by
them. When false teaching comes into churches from lose canons who
depart from sound doctrine (Titus 2:1)
some folks recognize it and alert others. In many instances those who
speak up and address their concerns are ignored, marginalized, or
accused of being divisive. The person who will not back down is often
given the boot!

leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation, a heretical movement that
sprang from the Pentecostal and Charismatic movements, claim that they
hear directly from God, Jesus and angels. They even encourage their
followers to contact angels despite the fact that Scripture expressly
forbids contacting the spirit world because Satan and his demons can
appear as an "angel of light" to deceive people. (2 Cor 11:14) Like the
apostles who established the early church, these "restored apostles and
prophets" believe they are called by God to lay the foundation and
government for the new earthly Kingdom. Moreover, they believe that soon
they will take dominion over government and dominate the world
politically and spiritually. (I'll cover Dominionism in Part 2.)

It has become necessary to report on the NAR again because it is gaining
credibility with evangelicals as well as the conservative media,
entertainers, politicians and the Tea Party movement.

Last year self-professed NAR prophet Cindy Jacobs' and General's International held the May Day 2010: A Cry To God For A Nation In Distress
at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial where "local representatives shared
about their state's Christian heritage and lifted up prayers for their
state and the United States. National leaders offered up prayers of
repentance for seven main issues: family, the church, education, arts
and entertainment, business, government and the media." Janet Porter
of Faith2Action had an active role in organizing the gathering. In
attendance were such notables as James Dobson, Tony Perkins, Wendy
Wright, Jerry Newcombe, Peter LaBarbera, David Barton, Mathew Staver,
Robert Knight, Alan Keyes, to name a few. Also in attendance were
several NAR leaders including C. Peter Wagner, Chuck Pierce, Dutch
Sheets, Lance Wallnau and Rick Joyner.

In April 2010 conservative Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA hosted The Awakening 2010 conference sponsored by the Freedom Federation.
They define themselves as "a group of the nation's largest multiracial,
multiethnic and multigenerational faith-based and policy organizations
representing more than 30 million Americans united by core values. The
group's mission is to bring together community leaders committed to
mobilizing the Judeo-Christian worldview to preserve freedom and promote
justice."

What is wrong with this picture? People from the NAR who are in the grip
of evil were invited to participate in both of these events. One
example is Cindy Jacobs.
Jacobs is the NAR's "lead U.S. National Apostle." Cindy is supposedly a
modern day prophet. But I beg to differ. This woman has uttered more
false prophecies than Walgreen's has pills, proving beyond a reasonable
doubt that she is no more a prophet of God than Lady Gaga! The truth is,
Cindy Jacobs is a false prophet.

Forays by NAR Apostles into the political scene in America have been
until recently sparse. But Lou Engle...who has his own ministry to youth
called "The Call," has been politically active in pro-life and
homosexual issues. Some months ago he was able to pray for Gingrich and
Huckabee with the laying on of apostolic hands. But very recently the
political stars seem to have come suddenly into alignment.

American political landscape has suddenly changed. A tumult is appearing
in the land with the passage of health care reform. The Christian
Right, with its years of courting political influence, is now poised to
merge with the new Tea Party Movement. In times of crisis, natural or
caused, things seem to happen faster and opportunities, that would take
years, seem to happen in months. There is the scent of rebellion in the
air.

Before I move on, I should point out that there is nothing wrong with
Christians gathering together to stand up for biblical principles and
fight the forces of wickedness that are destroying America. And there's
certainly nothing wrong with praying for our country and for the men and
women in the armed forces who put their lives on the line so that we
can live free. To say that our nation and our soldiers are in dire need
of prayer is an understatement. Even though the Christian Right (CR)
often shares a stage with controversial groups/persons it does not mean
that they necessarily share their views; what it does mean however is
that when controversial groups/persons are invited to participate in a
CR event it appears that they endorse these groups/persons. It
grieves me to say this — and I'll get a lot of flak for it — but many
professing Christians seem to have little or no problem partnering with
false teachers and cultists, perhaps because these groups/persons are
useful in furthering their political causes.

As a conservative Christian myself, I find partnering with the wicked
unacceptable for the reasons that: (1) God opposes the wicked; (2) The
wicked should not be given a platform — especially when God's people
provide that platform!

But that's just me.

Ever notice how the CR complains about RINOs (Republican in name only)
hijacking the Republican Party? Former Mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani
is considered a RINO because he's fiscally conservative and socially
liberal. So when he ran for President in 2008 he couldn't muster the
support of socially conservative evangelicals because they get all hot
under the collar when liberals, who call themselves moderates, refuse to
adhere to the official Republican platform on important issues such as
abortion, homosexuality and same-sex "marriage." Yet the CR has no
problem joining forces with CINOs (Christians in name only) that pervert
sacred Scripture!

Listen to what Jesus said about false prophets:

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves (Mat. 7:15).

And,

For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs
and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect (Mark 13:22).

MOVIN' ON UP

The NAR a.k.a. Latter Rain/Kingdom Now/Dominionist/Joel's Army/Manifest
Sons of God — no doubt I've left some names out — has been on the rise
for over six decades. As you can see the name has been changed umpteen
times so that unsuspecting Christians will swallow the hype that there's
a "New Wave" or a "Paradigm Shift" taking place in Christendom. They
claim they're receiving new revelation from God and are ushering
in "a reformation greater in scale than the reformation of the 1500's."
They also claim that a new group of believers will rise up and be given
the power to perform miraculous signs and wonders, even greater than the
miracles of Jesus and the Apostles — and they believe they have the
power to cast out demons, heal the sick, raise the dead and bring
multitudes into the Kingdom of God.

The founder of this sect is C. Peter Wagner from Fuller Theological
Seminary. Wagner is one of the leading authorities on the Church Growth
movement and has been studying the field of church growth for close to
40 years. (Rick Warren wrote his doctoral dissertation at Fuller
Seminary on Wagner's church growth ideas and was mentored by Wagner.) C.
Peter Wagner is the "presiding apostle" in the International Coalition
of Apostles.

Orrel Steinkamp of Discernment-Ministries believes Wagner is,

attempting to will into existence [the] 'New Apostolic Reformation.'
He tells us in a book he has edited called 'The New Apostolic Churches'
of the struggle he had with naming his new reformation.[3]

As I pointed out earlier, what the NAR is putting out there is not new. In fact, Bill Hamon
of Christian International has been teaching it for decades. Hamon runs
a school to train people to become modern day "Apostles" and
"Prophets." In his view the church is in her third and final Reformation
and Christ can't return to earth until the Church purifies itself.

Steinkamp wonders:

Can it be argued that this 'New reformation' is something that God
has just recently dropped new from heaven like the baby Superman from
Krypton? I suggest that there is nothing new here at all and for anyone
willing to do the study they will find it a mere cutting edge version of
something at least 100 years old. G. Raymond Carlson, former General
Superintendent of the AOG [USA], had this to say regarding the new
apostles and prophets:

'I saw it in the New Order of the Latter Rain in the late 40's and early
50's. Before that, it made its presence felt in the early days of the
century among early Pentecostals.'

Steinkamp continues:

To Latter Rain teachers it seemed obvious that if there was to be a
repeated apostolic Pentecost then apostles and prophets must be restored
as well. These teachers then devised a historical scheme of
restoration. Church history was understood as a succession of recoveries
of lost or neglected truths. Luther recovered justification by faith,
Baptists believers' baptism, Wesley holiness, A.B. Simpson healing and
the early Pentecostal pioneers the gifts of the Spirit. The recovery
process was now extended further. The end time body of Christ must go on
to maturity and restore the apostles and prophets and these restored
ministries must lead the church to a new and final dimension of power
and authority not only bringing in the final harvest but establishing
the Kingdom of God upon the earth.[4]

Are we to establish a Kingdom of God upon earth? Listen to what Jesus says:

My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world,
then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the
Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. (John 18:36).

The NAR has one thing right. The ministry of the apostles continues today:

Not in the person of anyone claiming to be an apostle, but in the New
Testament. Every time the Word of God in the New Testament is read and
proclaimed, the apostolic ministry and office fulfills its role. The
apostles of the first century live on today, in the Church, through the
Word God has given us through them.[5]
